They're announcing that they've kidnapped Larry. Jampoints can be used on the ransom.

It was me who spoke (not actually spoke, I wouldn't dare actually speak to the King. This was over PM) to him. He just said he is taking a few weeks holiday/vacation, and wouldn't be posting much. All is good.

Has anyone noticed that there has been a dramatic decrease in the amount of posts that say: That deal has already been posted!!

The whole forum? The entire industry!

This is what happens when you let your kids help with the house painting!

But only for up to 30% of it.

All we have to do now is wait for another great video from Simeon!

I have this and if everything works out I will do a livestream on Friday around 3:00 pm. It is building on concepts from previous Sample Logic libraries but refining them in a really good way. One of the best updates is the preset browser. It makes it very easy to find what you are looking for. Stay tuned 📺

Still nobody knows how long this unauthorized holiday will take? I see trees, everywhere trees.

Honestly, if I were Larry, I'd want to take a break from feeling it was expected that I post every deal out there. Wouldn't blame him for being burned out on having to live up to expectations.

they should use whoever DesignMyBeat use

Yes let's give Larry a furlough, he's a legend.

Heretic.

I get exhausted after posting one deal...

Gary I listened to it on my home PC with some old Altec Lansing speakers. They are not bad speakers, but I wanted to hear it better so I moved up to my studio to listen to it on my monitors. Right off the bat I can hear more focus in the vocal. The delicate parts sound more 'soft', the strong parts still have power but aren't dominating. Simeon's piano sounds beautiful. I can hear much more detail in his playing. The climax sounds great. Clear and powerful. Then it drops back to the soft sound. I thought you did an excellent job on the first mix. But this mix I like better. Just sounds cleaner, focused and just a richness in the upper frequencies. And much more dimension. I did watch and listen to the video, and man... you did an excellent job on that video. Really touching.

I believe if you are within the 90 day of v.4 purchase you can sign in to your "My Presonus" account and go to Your Products Page and click on Studio 4 a "green" redeem button should be present that you would click and follow instructions. If that isn't working, you should contact them in customer service. Hope that helps.

Heh. To be clear, I was just pointing out that The Edge was an early adopter of Korg's SDD-3000 digital delay and although the earlier albums can definitely be replicated (heh) with a tape-delay or analog pedal, the tones from Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree are pure digital delay.

This sounds very nice - wish I could justify the cost! https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-z/spitfire-symphonic-motions/

Is this what I'm supposed to do, Larry?

You can simulate more of a tape style echo with the Sonitus Delay and rolling off the high end in the EQ section at the bottom, and setting your delay time to be about 110 - 150ms, maybe setting each side of the delay to be a slightly different value (eg: left side is 100ms, right side is 130ms) and about 30% feedback, Wet/Dry mix to taste. What could also be good is throwing that onto an effects buss and setting the mix to 100% wet, and then strapping a distortion plugin over the top (eg: you could use either the tube or tape saturation modules in the Pro Channel) to add in some grit and roll off even more high end. Then do a send from the guitar track to that delay buss. Like Colin said, doing a straight digital delay won't get you that effect because it's too "accurate" and clean in the high end - it's got to be a bit darker and dirtier. (edit: also, you know it's late when you miss the obvious pun right there! 😑)

Digital Delay has more Edge

And their pictures show just how excited some can get playing violin!! (I wonder what people were thinking when they come up with marketing materials like this.)

Watching reviews and intro videos I am beginning to find the idea of subscribing to Sphere appealing. I have found MuseScore 2 useful recently for making rough scores for a session singer and found it really useful when writing lyrics but its a bit on the clunky side (it is free so I can't complain.) Having something better that Cakewalk's staff view integrated in the DAW, plus the full stand alone version of Notion available could be very useful. The other standout for me is the keyswitch lanes which look very useful. I am not sure how much the collaboration tools will bring to the party, dropbox seems to be working well enough for me but 30GB of online storage sounds useful and they say it can be accessed by non-Sphere users using other DAWs. I recently upgraded Melodyne and while watching the Groove 3 instruction video I noticed it should communicate with S1's chord track which could be handy. Beyond that I was taken by the fact that some of the new features have been in Cakewalk for a while.

Well at least it shows how much he is appreciated. As soon as he takes a break the whole forum gets nervous!

All is good indeed. Well deserved.

A saved SO5 song is not backward compatible to SO4.

We need to exercise more!

I checked out the Specs of the AXE I/O and my Clarett and they are pretty much the same, same dynamic range etc. I've been curious about the AXE I/O since release, but never bothered because I have been extremely happy with the Clarett. Anyway, I have been checking the Line6 forums for people wanting to sell, no luck yet, but I've almost convinced myself to pull the trigger before the sale ends. First I am going to download the demo again and see what I think this time, if it's a good impression taking into account everything else I have I'll grab it, if not . . . well no harm.

Thanks Grem. Ill change the sound track to the video later and send you through a link to download the new copy.

I've got only that something else left.

I face a similar situation--I really want to learn to use the Arranger Track, but I have never used software that had anything like it. When the Arranger Track was first introduced in Cakewalk, I was hoping someone (staff or users) would do a series of text-based progressive exercises to try to give users like me a series of small, step-by-step "Instant Gratification" style tutorials--to get me started and to introduce me to the essential/important features. Different users have different learning styles, but for me there is nothing like hands-on-learning (aka learning-by-doing, not learning-by-watching-someone-else-do-it). For sure, demo projects to showcase advanced uses can be helpful, too! Thanks for raising the subject.

And whoever predicted the release of Tracks5 SE should win a colander or something else.

If you care about latency (and in case you play guitar with software processing you probably do), you do not use specially audio optimized computer (and from your post you do not) , you do not need many channels and have the money, take RME. It is less problematic and more forgiving in mentioned conditions. As a bonus, you get full flexibility in routing (use in parallel with Windows audio, Skype, other DAWs, routing/mixing one into another when required). Note that Babyface Pro is just a pre-amp when stand-alone, only top models can work as mixers in that mode. I still have M-Audio Audiophile as my "windows sound" interface and Phonic + small usb mixer to keep all peaces of my small home audio room permanently connected (works with and without computer) in addition to M-Audio 410 and Roland VS-20 which just collect dust. But if I could go back in time, there had to be RME UFX instead. Unfortunately, I have understood that after I have bought Babyface Pro only. Nothing wrong with all other interface I have, they all work. And build-in Realtek also works (except for inputs). But with all other interfaces I hit some limits/inconvenience. With RME I do not.

Try a delay going into a reverb

We had multiple news items added today at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/ and there's a couple that might not make it into the cycle today (which is fine because it was way too heavy today!) plus SampleTank 4 and SampleTank 4 Editor were both updated as well. A lot going on today, and that's not even all of it.

Fixed.😁

Oh no, I just got another reverb when I thought I would't have to anymore! 😣 But at least this next one free 🤪

And deserves it if he wants it.

Note that if you are both a Red Room customer and own Cinemorphx/Morphestra you will get two different coupons, but can only use one of them -- yes, I tried. It also requires the full version of Kontakt. Which seems to be SampleLogic's new thing. The sale price is $249.99 and if you get the discount coupon you get $50 off. The coupons look custom (they aren't generic) but if anyone want's to try here's the one I didn't use: RRA-4gh4-4OfR-omd2-SAI

I was kinda hoping they would accept artificial money for it.

Yes, I use it, and I have to say, using it with CW, it is freaking amazing. One of the things that I've railed about in the past with CW/Sonar is that is has (IMO) very poor loop construction/manipulation of samples, and it's difficult to demo candidate samples 'on the fly' even within the Media Selector. The Loopcloud plugin makes this a much less tedious, and more enjoyable process. One really cool thing is that it has a Pitch knob, which is a high-quality pitch-shifter. It will allow you to pitch-shift a sample (Loopcloud or your own samples) to fit your song. Along with being able to do sample edits and apply basic effects to a sample, again on the fly. Then, when you are happy, you can drag/drop a complete sample with all the edits applied. The way I use it is that I create a Instrument track with it, then start the Loopcloud application. I then setup a loop in my song where I would like to have a new sample, and then use the Loopcloud application to select one. I can change the time, pitch, starting/ending time, apply effects, cut/paste samples all on the fly. As mentioned above, it gives more of an Ableton-loop construction feel to your workflow. It is my hope that the Bakers would develop something like this for CW, they could even setup a sample purchasing thing similar to Loopcloud. I have Splice as well, and I like Splice, mainly because of their gigantic sample library, but man, it's a pain to demo their samples in that web interface. I end up having to download them from Splice and bring them into my Loopcloud Library to use them. As Aidan mentioned, it's a great inspiration boost. If you try it and end up liking it, if you can wait (or just pay the monthly until then), they had 1/2 price on the Annual subscription around Black Friday/holidays, and I would think they will have such a sale again. I think it was like $60.00. Out of all the stuff I bought during the holidays, this has been the most used and enjoyed of them all, and I just thought it would be a throw-away thing that I could just get $60.00 of quality loops from. Just wanted to share my positive experience with it.

It's so cute when they're this naive...

Just got the Nimbus and.....HOLY MOTHER OF PRESETS! I was surprised lol. Also AMAZING reverb! Just from the default preset alone it sounded so natural. It also gave my noisy midi sample a better sound! I got the $9 Excalibur deal when it was on so this is an awesome deal to add! All together $38 for both plugins. A STEAL LOL!

Hi folks, Here's a new composition. It is a bit of a departure from my usual stuff - this is more of a hybrid-orchestral piece, and it's something of an experiment, and a rough draft that I'm still working on. The music is a gift, and is being written for a friend of mine (the "Bjarn" in the title, of course) as a short theme/motif for a Norse persona he portrays in a historical re-enactment society he belongs to. I am trying for a sort of dark ages/pagan vibe -- think of it as the sort of scoring you'd use for a stormy sea voyage in an epic movie about Vikings, or similar: Part of my interest in writing this was to explore the Dark Era library from Eduardo Tarilonte that I picked up a few months ago. Like most of Tarilonte's stuff, it's pretty awesome, and I wanted to compose a piece that took advantage of it's particular kind of sound. I'm happy with the results, so far, although this sort of music is blunt force trauma compared to the stuff I usually try to create, so I'm not too sure about the current mix - I worry it's a bit thick and boomy. Any feedback on that (or anything else) would be greatly appreciated. Libraries used: Dark Era (Shamanic chanting, Inuit Vocal Rhythms, various Throat Singing Patches and percussion patches including Roman Tympanum, shaker, frame drum) Era II (Fidule - the solo instrument that plays the main melody, a few sound design patches and pads, Tavern Singer shouts) Forest Kingdom II (Shamanic Chanting) Epic World (Female Temple Voices patch) Era II: Vocal Codex (Heroica female legato voice) Cinesamples Voices of War: Men of the North (Vowel Morph, Shouts) KeepForest Vikings (Acoustic Rolls, Cello loops, Shouts, Viking Hits) Albion ONE (Easter Island Hits) NI's Rise and Hit 8Dio Lacrimosa Choir As mentioned above, this one is still very much a work in progress. Thanks for listening! Rob
